NOVELTIES AND SPECIALTIES. D. M. FERRY & CO., DETROIT, MICH. 



Lettuce — May King 



Our many comparative trials have convinced us that INIa}^ King is the most reliable first early heading 

 sort. It is the best extremely early heading sort yet introduced for forcing under glass. It is equally desir- 

 able for first early planting out of doors where marketable heads are required as early as possible. Our stock 

 is of superior quality. {See cut andfiiiiher description, page j6) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 15c; 2 Oz. 25c; 1/4 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.50 



Lettuce — Big Boston 



Among our leading specialties is this compact, large lettuce which heads up under cold weather condi- 

 tions better than any other varietj'. The plants are large and vigorous. The outer leaves are broad, thin, very 

 hard and crisp. The inner leaves form large solid heads which blanch readily to an attractive greenish 

 white, tinged with light yellow. Big Boston is desirable not only for outdoor culture but also for forcing in 

 cold-frames. It is grown verj' extensivelj' in the south for shipment north in the winter. The seed we 

 offer is of first quality. {See cut and further description, page j6) Pkt. 5c; Oz. 20c; 2 Oz. 35c; V4 Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.75 



Peas— Alderman 



This very productive, tall growing, dark green variety is in many respects the verj' best early main crop 

 pea of the valuable Telephone type. The pods are of largest size, similar to but a little larger and a shade 

 darker than those of Duke of Albany and about the same in season. The peas are unsurpassed in quality. Our 

 stock has been grown and selected with the greatest care and we recommend it unreservedly, (See cut, page

Thomas Laxton Pea 



Peas— Ferry's First and 

 Best 



The earliest and most even 

 strain of first early white peas, 

 maturing so well together 

 that sometimes a single pick- 

 ing will secure the entire crop. 

 The stock we offer is much su- 

 perior to most on the market.

Peas — Thomas Laxton 



The peas of this extra early 

 wrinkled variety are very large 

 and are of unsurpassed qualitj'.

 dus but are darker in color.

 attractive, with square ends,

 Champion of England and as 

 uniform!}- well filled. The ear- 

 liness, productiveness, hand- 

 some appearance and quality

 most valuable earl)^ sort for

Peas— Little Marvel 



An excellent dwarf sort 

 for the market and home 

 garden. The pods average a 

 little longer than those of 

 Premium Gem, are more at- 

 tractive in shape and color and 

 the peas are of superior quali- 

 ty. The vines are heavily set 

 with large, straight, deep green 

 pods which are square ended at 

 the bottom and are well filled 

 with large tender peas. Season 

 about the same as Premium 

 Gem. This is a recent in- 

 troduction which from our 

 trials we believe to be of excep- 

 tional merit. {See further des- 

 cription, page 46 )Pkt.lOc; Pt.25c;
